Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (100g)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60g)
  • 1/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (75g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to heat for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Peel, pit, and slice about 6 large peaches into roughly 1/2-inch thick slices.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine peach slices, granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and all-purpose flour. Toss gently until peaches are evenly coated and set aside for 10 minutes.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together rolled oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground nutmeg if using.
  5. Add cold cubed butter to the oat mixture and cut it in using a pastry cutter, fork, or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  6. Pour the peach mixture into a greased 8×8 inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the oat crumble evenly over the peaches, covering them completely.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crisp and the peach filling is bubbling and thickened. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow juices to settle.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Cold butter is key for a crumbly topping. Peeling peaches is recommended for smoother texture but optional. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. Adjust sugar based on peach sweetness. Reheat leftovers at 300°F for 10-15 minutes to restore crispness.
